I actually have an entire chapter devoted to examining the delineation between games that use feel as their primary dynamic and games to which feel is incidental or absent. I explicitly state that there are many games which don't have "Game Feel" per my definition that are among my favorite games (Civ, X-Com etc...)

But obvs, feel is paramount in probably the majority of games.
